John Calipari's job isn't easy. As head basketball coach at the University of Kentucky, he's on the go constantly -- glad-handing sponsors, mingling with alumni and dealing with the press. There's also the grueling off-season recruiting circuit, all in addition to 30 or games and countless practices during the year.

The upside: For his efforts, Calipari, who owns a .768 winning percentage and 11 NCAA tournament appearances at three schools, pulls in a cool $4 million a year, making him college basketball's highest-paid coach. And that doesn't include perks like a country club membership or that $3 million retention bonus waiting for him in 2016 if he's still on the Kentucky sideline by the end of that season.

At least 32 Division I basketball coaches earn more than a million dollars annually, according to USA Today, and that number can go higher as potential bonuses kick in.

Matta's salary is reportedly $2.5 million per year.

Matta, 43, has a 286-87 career coaching record and is in his 11th season: beginning with one year at Butler, then three at Xavier (Ohio) and now, in his seventh season at OSU.

Matta's record with the Buckeyes is 184-56.

His teams have made eight NCAA Tournament appearances -- soon to be nine.

Butler went 1-1 in the tournament in Matta's one year there. Xavier made the tournament in all three of Matta's seasons, and won five games against three losses, including a run capping Matta's final seson there (2003-04) to the Elite Eight.

Matta and Ohio State have played in four NCAA Tournaments prior to this season. The Buckeyes have won eight games and lost four. They lost to Florida in the 2006-07 national championship game, and got to the Sweet Sixteen last season.
